SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) is a cooperative society under Belgian law founded in 1973 with the idea of providing standards for data exchange between financial institutions. It is owned by its members, which include the world’s largest banks.
SWIFT now provides a global interbank messaging network for financial institutions (banks, trading rooms, large corporations). Due to the extreme sensitivity of messages passing through this network and the increasingly high threats to the organization and its customers, in 2017 SWIFT implemented the Customer Security Programmewhich imposes a certain number of conditions on its customers. control points (mandatory or recommended) concerning the security of their computer network.
For SWIFT, the application of security measures among all its users is crucial as the compromise of a single customer can lead to chain reactions across the network.
These control points must be subject to an annual self-assessment by the client, coupled with an audit that may be conducted by an external service provider such as Synetis.
